PAD FOB PERMANENT WAVING Ol' HAIR.

Application Med January 4, 1928. Serial No. 244,428.

This 'invention relates to improvements in pads for use in the permanent waving of hair, and provides improvements therein.

The invention provides a pad having improved steaming properties. It further provides a pad of simple and inexpensive construction and manufacture.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, Wherein:

igure 1 is a plan view of one side of said Pa Fig. 2 is a plan view'of the opposite 'side of lsald pad;

Fig. 3 is a view in cross-section.

Referring to said drawing, numeral 10 designates an absorbent bod-y having unequal absorbent roperties. 'The body is conveniently of'a sorbent paper, such for example as filter paper and has compressed portions 12, these beingconveni'ently 1n the form of teats or projections embossed on the paper. The compressed portions 12 do not have absorptive properties equal to the other When the paper 10 has been moistened with a hair-waving solution and heat applied, as in permanent hair waving, the lesser amount of moisture in the compressed portions 12 is brought p to the steam point before the moisture in the other parts, and hence steaming is initiated or produced more quickly in the portions 12 than in said other portions. Moreover, as the steaming progresses said compressed portions, and steaming continues from saidcompressed portions 12, said portions acting somewhat as 'convection points directing the steam toward the hair, and initiating steaming more quickly than otherwise, and thereby reducing the time for heating to produce the permanent wave.

with thel paper absorbent In conjunction 10, I preferably use a textile absorbent 16,

such for example as a plece of cotton-lannel.v This serves as themam reservolr or holder for the moisture used 1n waving, and accordin to' my experience acts somewhat more s owly in giving olf the moisture in vthe form of steam, so that by the conjoint p use of the two materials I obtain the advantage of an absorbent which conduces to a quick yielding of the contamed moisture moisture spreadsl to.

-1t may be readily held 1n wrapped as steam and an absorbent which ives its moisture up more slowly and provi ing for a supply of steam over the requisite minutes for producing a permanent wave.

For convenience, I preferably combine in a unitary manner a wrapper 20 with the absorbent or absorbents. This I preferably make of paper. In fast waving where a rather intense heat is applied, the heat is apt to char the paper. To obviate this, I preferably apply a char-resistant to the paper, as indicated at 22. This char-preventive may-be of any suitable nature, preferably an adhesive coating with a mineral base, such as a mineral base paint pigment. In practice, I make use of a metal pai-nt or lacquer and spray it on in a thin film or coating.

The absorbent body or bodies (10 and 16) may be conveniently attached to the wrapper 20 by staples 24 or the like and the arrangement is preferably such that the paper absorbent 10 lies nearest the strand of hair when the parts are wrapped around said strand of hair in the production of a permanent wave.

Forthe purpose of convenience and quick ortion of the wrapper a strip or piece of ductile metal 30. InA practice I make use of lead wire. As a means of attachment, I paste a piece of thin paper 32v over said Wire 30. After -tlie paper Wrapper 20 is Wrapped around a prepared strand of hair,

by lseizing the rolled margin having the wire 30, and squeezing or deformingfthe,

ductile wire, which when released will retain its deformation and thereby hold said wrapper against unwrapping.

The manner of use of my improved invention will be apparent from the foregoing description.

The invention may receive various other embodiments than that illustrated and specifically described.

What is claimed is: v

1. In a pad for permanent waving of hair, an absorbent body comprising a sheet having ortions of unequal absorbent properties whereby heat will initiate steaming in the portions of lesser absorptiveness.

2. In a pad for permanent waving of hair,

position v absorbent paper having compressed portions of lesser absorptiveness, in which heat will initiate steaming.

3. In a pad for permanent Waving of hair, a paper Wrapper for confining moisture, and ay .char-resistant coating for said paper Wrapper.

4. In a pad for permanent Waving of hair, absorbent material, a paper Wrapper, and a char-resistant coating for said paper Wrapp 5. In a pad for ermanent Waving of hair, absorbent materia a paper wrapper, and a char-resistant for said paper Wrapper, said charresistant comprising a coat-ing of mineral substance.

6- In a pad for permanent Waving of hair, absorbent material, a paper wrapper, and a char-resistant for said paper Wrapper, said char-resistant comprising a coating of metallic paint. f

' 7. In a pad for permanent Waving of hair, a paper wrapper adapted to be wrapped around a prepared strand of hair and confine moisture, and means for holding said Wrapper in Wrapped position comprising a Wire of ductile metal along a margin of said paper, adapted to be deformed by pressure and thereafter retain its deformation.

8. In a pad for permanent Waving of hair,

absorbent aper having compressed portions of lesser a sorptiveness, in which heat Will initiate steaming, a paper Wrapper and means for holding said Wrapper in Wrapped position comprising a Wire of duotile metal along a margin of said paper, adapted to be de- .wrapp mamas formed by pressure and thereafter retain its deformation.

9. In a pad for permanent Waving of hair, two absorptive mediums of different absorptive properties, a paper wrapper and means for holding said Wrapper in wrapped position comprising a Wire of ductile metal along a margin of said paper, adapted to be deformed by pressure and thereafter retain its deformation.

10. A pad for permanent Waving of hair comprising an absorbent body, and a wrapper of larger area than said absorbent body, said absorbent body being attached along one edge to an edge of said Wrapper, and projecting out of coincidence With said 11. A pad forpermanent Waving of hair comprising a Wrapper, and an absorbent body, said absorbent body comprising a sheet of absorbent material attached at one edge of an edge of said Wrapper, and the remaining edges of said absorbent being unattached.

12. A pad for permanent Waving of hair comprising a Wrapper, and an absorbent body, said body comprising a sheet of abl sorbent paper and a sheet ofh absorbent textile material, said sheets of absorbent material being attached at one edge to an edge of said Wrapper, the remaining edges of said sheets being unattaehed.

In Witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
